   Before placing a call, it is quite often useful for the Caller to
   know whether a Callee is in favourable state to receive a call or
   not. This document defines an optional tag &quot;continue&quot; and a header
   &quot;Continue&quot; to address the purpose.  The &quot;Continue&quot; header field is
   to confirm the session continuity with the Callee from the Caller
   after an option for session continuity is placed by the Callee based
   on the unfavorable state of the Callee.  This functionality is needed
   to resolve the unwillingness of the Callee to receive any call. An
   option is given to the Callee by the Service Provider or by the
   Handset Manufacturer or by the Carrier to establish this requirement.
